Thanks guys- it's been a pain the proverbial-butt trying to figure this thing out. I light it one day and the next I get nothing. The only factor that seems to vary is the temp from one day to the next so that must be what it is. Sadly I ordered a new regulator out of frustration - any chance...

Thanks Cliff! I hadn't thought of a natural paint brush- I got caught up with the ideas from you tube on wiping these down. I never really considered "seasoning" these like I see on there but figured there might be something to it. I've only had a CI skillet that I wipe down with oil but...

Forgive me if the topic is covered in a different area but I tried to search in this area and only came up with SS vs CI hits. My question is, is there there a proper technique to season the heavy cast iron (CI) grates? I saw different things on you tube about the topic (specifically...

I just got my WSM 18.5 last week and I too initially subscribed to the Henry Soo School of thought about seasoning and I too came to think it was over kill since I really wanted to smoke this past weekend. I did smoke all the bacon I had in the house for the first smoke. I then cooked ribs and...

Rich- thanks for the links! I'll try this though I feel like I have but maybe I didn't wait long enough since it has been cold out.

Ok- If I didn't mention it previously, the ribs came out great on Friday - ended up having a midnight BBQ party. On Saturday I put a ~6# pork butt on around 3pm on the top rack and let it cook there throughout the cook. I foil wrapped it around 9pm and pulled it off at 11:30pm since the $8...

Ok- the ribs came out better than expected! I found that I want to rush the process and not respect the fact that it's done when it's done. I did notice a bit of a stall at the 4 hour mark- I assume it was ash since I raised one leg of the WSM let it drop down (same affect as kicking the leg I...

So I'm cooking ribs this eve- wasn't feeling the fryer and the bacon os ok- but I might as well cook something bigger if I'm using the coal! I can't really mess anything up since it's just meat and I'm not cooking for money!

Thanks for all the input. I've got two racks of ribs going on it now- started a too late for it to be dinner- but lunch tomorrow is good for me. Filled the ring with KBB and left the center open- put a lump of hickory in the center and poured 1/3 hot coals from the Weber chimney on top of the...

Hi all- as you may know, I'm really new to the WSM club and really excited too! As I type this, I have bacon cooking on the WSM as the seasoning process. The question is, what's some of the greasiest stuff to cook to help season it up? Chicken wings? Whole Fryers? Butts? I didn't...

Wow! Thanks for the recipe! Noe I just need to find the sauce that I cannot pronounce! How do you say it phonetically? Thanks again!

Well, I couldn't wait till the weekend to put and fire the WSM up… I realize that I'll need to get into the coal and wood business now! I used what coal I had KBB and let it run dry for awhile and then there on what bacon I had in the fridge… I'd like to throw some meat on this weekend so...

LM- That bites… makes me feel compelled to stock pile parts to keep my stuff going for another 13+ years! I guess Weber needs to make somethings so that people come back.

Since Im new to the Q world- can the old Baby Q regulators handle the extension hose and a 5# or larger tank?

Anybody have any advice on trouble shooting procedures on these two things for a Q100 or are they a simple replace if you get no gas? I hate to spend the $$ if I can fix it or if there is a trick to tell if it doesn't work…

Well, not sure what happened but today- the Baby Q is kaput…. doesn't matter if I use the camp bottle or the big tank- I got nothing on it. Any thoughts on if it's the manifold or regulator? It just worked last night with the camp propane bottle…

Thanks for everybody's encouragement! I see a challenge in the future on the BBQ between her and I but I need to get some cooking under the proverbial belt before I bring it up. I have to get it put together and light her up to get the newness knocked off of her. I'm thinking about smoking...

Ok- so I hooked up the little camp bottle of propane this eve and the burner fired up like a champ- no issues even though I didn't do anything new to it. I let it run for 10 mins and then heated up the griddle for another 20 mins in order to brush the griddle down. Thankfully, this just saved...

Ah! A good point that I clearly overlooked… the sucking is now drawing air over the coals thus stoking them to a new level! Didn't think it through enough! Not to mention the fine ash and the issues on the vacuum itself. I assumed a second vacuum- the wife would kill me if I did that with her...

Thanks for taking the time on the pics- I never remember to do that in anything I do! I love the concept, very easy and efficient, even if I don't have a Great Dane (an awesome dog too!) I do have a couple questions on the concept- 1) How well did this work for the cook? Was the temp...
